Throughout the United States' war on terror, our country discovered some pretty odd things about late Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. When bin Laden first fled his compound in Kandahar, U.S. troops raided his home and discovered 1,500 abandoned cassette tapes. Most of the tapes contained what you might expect - recordings of his speeches and various propaganda to recruit others to join his cause. But one of these tapes was actually an album by Jewish French-Algerian pop star, Enrico Macias. This was quite peculiar considering bin Laden had professed his disdain for both western culture and Judaism.

The odd findings didn't end there. Among bin Laden's collection of books were many written on various conspiracy theories including the Illuminati, voter fraud, the CIA mind control program MK Ultra, and naturally 9/11. There were also video game magazines and a copy of the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records for children. Other raids found that bin Laden also had pornography in his possession, although it has never been revealed which type of pornographic material he enjoyed.

Those that knew him say he was a big fan of the London based football team, Arsenal, and enjoyed playing pickup games of both football and volleyball with friends. He also loved cowboys, which is surprising considering his well-known hatred for America. Evidently he used to watch the TV shows Bonanza and Fury, and sometimes even wore a cowboy hat.

Who ever could've guessed that one of the most notorious terrorist leaders of all time would love pop music, football, and cowboys?
